Holiday ideas: photo storage boxes

If you never get round to putting your photographs into albums, keep them organised in boxes, instead.

Make labels with photographs for easy identification, then you'll always be able to quickly find the ones you want.

Use ready-made luggage labels, or make your own by cutting a small rectangle from card and trimming two corners diagonally. Punch a hole and thread with string.

It's unlikely you'll have a photograph that's just the right size to use, so photocopy it in black and white, reducing it to an appropriate size. Trim the picture, if necessary, and glue to your tag. Write the date and special occasion or holiday destination on the tag and tie it to the storage box.
